Athletic Bilbao is aiming for a spot in European competitions, potentially even the Champions League, while Granada battles to avoid relegation. The Basque team is in top emotional form after recent triumf in the Copa del Rey this season.
Ernesto Valverde’s Bilbao currently occupies the fifth position in the league, having won three of their last five matches, drawing one and losing another. Gorka Guruzeta is the team’s top scorer with 13 goals in 30 matches, but Iñaki Williams, with nine goals in 28 games, has also been crucial to their success.
On the flip side, Jose Ramon Sandoval’s Granada is in 19th place, just one spot from the bottom, with only 17 points. Their recent form shows one win and four losses in the last five games, and they have conceded 60 goals this season, indicating severe defensive vulnerabilities.
